AUG231284
Why this caught my eye:
Worth putting on your Xmas list with its Dec release date. Also this should have the same level of quality as the Dark Horse berserk hardcovers, so be prepared for inevitable (but totally worth it) money drain.
That's it for this batch, we'll check out some humor on the next round!
